"Ice stone Gu is extremely common and is considered a poison that can be sold to the outside world in Dongjiang. Therefore, it is difficult to tell whether it was done by people from Dongjiang."

His answer was almost exactly the same as what the coroner said at the beginning.

"If you are really from Dongjiang, your highness should be careful. Ghost Hand and Dongjiang join forces, I am afraid that there will be a lot of peace here soon."

"They are also eyeing you. Shouldn't you worry about your own safety first?"

"Your Highness should be worried about yourself first. The person who was going to assassinate last night was clearly Your Highness." She said, and suddenly reached out to touch the top of her head, and it was slightly swollen, not very obvious. You have to touch it very carefully to feel it.

"In their eyes, you have been tied to Gu long ago. If Gu is unbreakable, you will start with you." He supported himself on the head of the bed with one hand, and suddenly leaned down, and his narrow narrow eyes reflected her calm face.

"Chen Biyue, Gu told you one last time that if you dare to do anything to betray Gu, Gu will make you taste more painful than death."

Although his eyes were so cold that it was scary, she was not scared at all. "Your Highness wanted my trust before, but he questioned my loyalty. It can be seen that your Highness also hid his trust tightly. If it was such a relationship, why bother to force any trust? It would be too ridiculous."

"You are now living under the protection of the orphan. Are you not afraid that the orphan will take back all of this when you speak?"

"Your Highness, don't always talk about some things on your lips, just look at them." She stretched out her finger and gently tapped on his shoulder, the touch was gentle, as if nothing was left.

"You really dare to say it." Her actions were extremely bold. Could it be that she had decided that he would not pursue the matter and would have to provoke him so much?

"The soldiers come to block the generals, and the water comes to cover the soil. I have not escaped from your highness once or twice. The reason why I borrowed your highness's power is that it is the most convenient and there is no need to act around the corner. As for the ghost hand, your highness has been dealing with them for so long, and you should understand that no matter how elusive they are, they are humans after all. As long as they are humans, there is no reason that they cannot catch and cannot be killed."

The coldness and anger in Shao Yan's eyes faded away, and only a faint smile remained, "Okay, after listening to your nonsense for so long, I finally said something I love to hear."

"What sentence?" She had no intention of saying good-heartedness to him at all.

"Think yourself."

After a while, Xuanyi came over with the decocted medicine.

Before she stepped into the door, she had already stopped her fingers combed her hair and subconsciously held her breath.

To be honest, she was really scared of Xuanyi's medicine. When she was with Shao Yan in the past, she was almost strangled to death by him. The medicine she drank during that period of time after that was the most difficult medicine she had ever drunk in her past and present life.

The freshly decocted medicine emitted a sensation of heat. What surprised her was that the medicine had no smell at all, but instead emitted a faint fragrance.

She couldn't tell what the fragrance was. Just by this smell, she couldn't tell what herbal medicine was inside. This was something she had never smelled before.

When asked Xuanyi, he raised his chin, looked proud and disdainful, and said arrogantly: "The little girl who is unsightly, you don't know if you say it."

Then he added, "Besides, you drink this bowl of medicine, and you probably won't want to know what it is."

Chen Biyue: "..."

It sounds like this, it shouldn't be a good thing.

Looking at the dark medicine in the bowl, she finally gave up on her mind to ask questions, blew gently, and took a sip.

Spit out "Puff".

Xuanyi jumped up immediately, "You damn girl, do you know how expensive things I have put in? You dare to vomit, it's worth a thousand gold. You can't even pay it even if you sell yourself into the royal palace as a maid!"

She wiped the corner of her mouth expressionlessly, and her hand holding the bowl trembled unconsciously, almost trying to lift the bowl of medicine to the ground.

I took my breath and poured the medicine into my mouth before I dared to wipe the corners of my mouth, not even a trace of residual smell.

Her clothes were neatly placed on the head of the bed. She only took the coat and put them on her, then lowered her head and stepped on her feet to look for her shoes.

"Where is the Qifeng?"

"I'm going back before I even wiped my hair clean?" Shao Yan leaned against the head of the bed, his eyes falling on her hair.

"With Qifeng helping, it won't take long to go back to Chen Mansion. Instead..." She suddenly stopped and glanced at Xuanyi indifferently, "Doctor, everyone says that good medicine is bitter, but I only tasted the word "disgusting" from the medicine you decocted."

"You!" Xuanyi's face turned red with anger, and her trembling fingers pointed directly at Chen Biyue's back.

Fortunately, he didn't hate this maid. Although this girl had been coveting her master from the bottom of her heart, from this time on, he wanted to include this girl as one of the people he wanted to kill the most.

"What a strange girl. She drank such a bad medicine in one gulp, but she didn't even take one candied fruit."

Xuanyi's fingers froze and looked back at the master. There was sadness, sadness, and even more so that he dared not speak out. Finally, he said aggrievedly: "Master is also helping that girl."

"Look at your identity, I can't get along with a girl who is still young all day long, so it's not embarrassing to lose it." Shao Yan raised his slightestly and left the room.

Left alone Xuanyi and an empty bowl, his mind was filled with all kinds of resentment.

The master always likes to talk lies with his eyes open. At the beginning, the master was clearly the master.

After being delayed by the medicine, it was already dawn when I returned to Chen Mansion.

Chen Biyue quietly returned to the room with Qifeng.

Qifeng disappeared outside the window. As she just closed the window and turned around to walk to the bed, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Is the girl awake?" Linghua called softly outside, her voice unable to hide her helplessness. It seemed that she had called many times. If no one answered this time, I'm afraid she would really rush in.

She coughed lightly and replied in a daze: "Don't make noise, I'll sleep for a while."

"Girl, the second and third girls have been waiting outside for a long time. If the girl doesn't go out, she will be really late."

"I didn't sleep well last night and I still have a headache now. Please let them go first to avoid being late."

Listening to the sound of Linghua's footsteps away, she breathed a sigh of relief and touched her hair. When she came back, she was blown by the wind, and it was as cold as if it was covered with frost. It was also very cold on her body. The outer coat covered a thin middle coat inside. The middle coat was not her original one, but from the Prince Yu Mansion.

I took a clean white towel from the cabinet and sat down slowly by the bed while wiping my still damp hair.

She had many things, although she was hiding them from Shao Yan, but he was the same, hiding them from everyone, and she didn't know what kind of abacus to make in private.

The four dragons gathered together and the phoenix emerged, which is a legend that has been passed down from Daning since the beginning.

Not to mention the Phoenix, just talking about the Four Dragons refers to the four dragon talismans, which control the four borders of the southeast, west and north. As long as the dragon talisman is completely controlled in the palm of the hand, they can command the four borders. Although the Four Bridges are four small tribes, their strength cannot be underestimated. This is why Daning has been guarding against the Four Bridges in private.

Sijiang also knew the existence of the dragon talisman. Although there was no movement on the surface, it was hard to guarantee that they would not have the intention to grab the dragon talisman back and make some noises that threaten Daning behind their backs.

It can be said that the current Daning and the current emperor look high and indestructible, but they are surrounded by tigers and wolves, and the world is not stable at all.

Imperial study room

The emperor leaned back slightly, leaned on the back of the dragon chaise, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was closing his eyes to rest.

At this time, the little eunuch who was guarding outside hurried in. Eunuch Qian glanced at the emperor who was still closed and quickly took a small step to meet him. The two whispered a few words. Eunuch Qian turned his head, and the emperor was still closing his eyes, as if he was unaware of all this.

He walked back to the emperor and bent down, "Your Majesty."

The emperor opened his eyes, his eyes clear, and he was a little displeased to rest by someone, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, King Yu, has sent someone to the palace again."

The emperor snorted, "That bastard, does this palace make him so annoyed? He is still a prince. What's the matter with people coming in to pass messages every time? Doesn't he even take my brother, the emperor?"

"Your Majesty calms down. Your Highness, King Yu, never acts according to the rules. There are many rules in the palace and it is complicated. It is normal for Your Highness to dislike it."

"What's the matter with him this time?" His tone was much better than what he had just happened.

Eunuch Qian looked at his face and carefully explained what King Yu meant.

"I have handed over the case to the Qin Mansion for investigation. What fun is he going to join in?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that Your Highness went to Jingzhao Mansion late at night and was assassinated."

"Assassinated? Who is so brave to take action in the government office?" It was the Jingzhao Government Office at the foot of the emperor, who assassinated the prince of Daning, who was simply slapped him, the emperor in the face naked.

"This... I don't know." Eunuch Qian didn't dare to say more, and he said more and more wrong.

"You go and call Li Xian into the palace immediately! During the morning court today, he never mentioned this matter and did not report it. He was simply brave!" The emperor slapped the table with great force, obviously very angry.

Li Xian was quickly summoned to the palace.

"My minister, Li Xian, I have met Your Majesty."

"Li Xian, King Yu was assassinated last night. What's going on? The Jingzhao Mansion in Yong'an, the dignified yamen, is even at the foot of the emperor, and he will sneak into the foreign thief?"

Li Xian knew that this matter could not be hidden, and he had no intention of hiding it. So he said everything about last night in detail.

"You mean, the female corpse has been destroyed?" The emperor's face looked very ugly.

“That’s right.”

"That's it? What do you dare to say to me? Your dignified prefecture would actually make people lurk in the government office. Last night, a dead person was destroyed. If the secrets in the court were stolen, how should you solve them? If this matter spreads, it will cause a lot of speculation and suspicion from the people."

"It is my memorial, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to punish me."

"Now, the body is gone, and King Yu has been attacked. What's the use of blaming you for any more." Despite this, the emperor was so angry, "I really don't know what to eat with you...!"

"Eunuch Qian, please send Qin Zhao immediately!"

"Go back to Your Majesty, Lord Qin has been waiting outside the Imperial Study Room for a long time."

"He's here?" The emperor's tone sootheed a little, "It's said that he's coming in."

Qin Zhao walked in and saluted respectfully, but he looked neither humble nor arrogant, which made people feel very comfortable to see.

"I originally wanted to go to the palace to report to Your Majesty what happened last night. Since Lord Li is also here, I believe that Lord Li has already told Your Majesty about all the incident."

"Do you know who those assassins are?"

"I don't know when I go back to your Majesty."

Seeing Qin Zhao's calm expression, the emperor was so angry that he almost never took the jade seal on the table and smashed it out.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness, is still waiting outside, saying that Your Highness is anxious to wait for Your Majesty's reply." Eunuch Qian reminded him at the right time and also shifted the emperor's attention back to King Yu.

"He's the bastard! And you! No one knows what to do. I'm afraid I won't be angry to death, and you're unhappy!"
